Tasting Notes

Nose: A delicate and inviting aroma unfolds with soft caramel, vanilla bean, and a hint of sweet corn, characteristic of classic Kentucky bourbon. Underlying notes of light dried fruit, perhaps apricot, and a whisper of baking spice like cinnamon and nutmeg emerge, hinting at its single barrel origin and nuanced complexity.

Palate: The palate is remarkably smooth and approachable, especially given its proof. Early impressions of sweet butterscotch and creamy vanilla are prominent, gracefully transitioning to a mild oak presence that offers a touch of char and leather without overpowering. A subtle fruitiness, akin to ripe cherry or plum, interweaves with gentle baking spices, providing a balanced and comforting warmth.

Finish: The finish is medium-long and clean, leaving a pleasant warmth and a lingering sweetness of caramel and dried fruit. The oak spice makes a soft reprise, alongside a faint note of roasted nuts, ensuring a satisfying and elegant departure. It avoids any harshness, embodying a refined and gentle character.
